An Israeli policeman places a stun gun on the back of a detained Palestinian man during clashes with Israeli police following Friday prayers in the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Ras Al Amoud September 27, 2013. An Israeli police spokesman said on Friday that 10 Palestinians were detained on suspicion of throwing stones at policemen who were deployed in the Old City and in nearby Palestinian neighbourhoods of Jerusalem, amid recent tensions over Israel's admittance of Jewish visitors to a holy site in the Old City, which houses the al-Asqa mosque, and which Jews revere as the vestige of their ancient temples. Also on Friday, Israeli police only permitted Palestinian males over the age of 50 to enter al-Aqsa mosque. REUTERS/Nir Elias (JERUSALEM - Tags: POLITICS RELIGION CIVIL UNREST TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY)

Sign that reads "Shock" is seen on the field used for an Ultimate Tak Ball game in Bangkok

A sign that reads "Shock" is seen on the field used for an Ultimate Tak Ball game in Bangkok March 2, 2012. The rules are simple: throw a ball into the goal to score a point. But what makes this game unlike any other is that all the players are armed and ready with stun guns. Each game of Ultimate Tak Ball consists of three periods, with two teams of four players each. Any player in possession of the 24-inch (60 cm) medicine ball is open to unlimited shocking by the players on the opposite team. The stun guns pack 3 to 5 milliamps of electricity, about 10 percent of the power of the taser stun guns used by police. Picture taken March 2.
